What”s the difference between PVC coated fabric and PVC artificial leather

I: What is PVC Coated Fabric?

PVC coated Fabric is textile coating finishing. It is a finishing technology in which a layer (or multiple layers) of polymer compound is evenly coated on the fabric surface and a layer or multiple layers of film are formed on the fabric surface through adhesion. It shows high elongation, softness, good hand feel and wear resistance; Raw materials are easy to obtain and flame retardant. The coated fabric has rich hand feeling, elasticity, good wear resistance, weather resistance, acid and alkali resistance, excellent shielding and insulation. It is easy to dye into various colors. It can also be made into transparent and colorless products.

II: PVC Coated Fabric Manufacturing Technology

Do you know what is PVC coating technology? PVC coating is a production process. Liquid PVC is poured onto the chemical fiber cloth, and the liquid PVC is evenly coated and scraped on the surface of the chemical fiber cloth with a baffle similar to the blade, and then dried and shaped to become the final PVC tarpaulin.

III: What is PVC Artifical Leather?

PVC artificial leather is also a kind of PVC coated Fabric. It is made by coating PVC resin, plasticizer, stabilizer and other additives on the fabric, or covering a layer of PVC film, and then processed through a certain process.

IV: What are the advantages of PVC coated fabrics?

1. The thickness, gram weight, tear strength, breaking strength and tensile strength can be customized according to customer requirements to make it suitable for more application scenarios.

2. It can be customized for fire protection, cold resistance, UV resistance, environmental protection, antistatic, and can be applied to inkjet scenes..

3. The diversity of formulas can make PVC show different physical and chemical properties, so it is suitable for most residential and industrial occasions.

V: What are the advantages of the pvc artificial leather?

The product has the advantages of high strength, easy processing and low cost. It can be used for various bags, seat covers, linings, sundries, etc. However, it has poor oil resistance, high temperature resistance, low softness and poor hand feel.

There are PVC artificial leather and Pu artificial leather, among which Pu artificial leather has higher cost, better UV resistance and better weather resistance.

VI: What are the applications of PVC coated fabric?

PVC coated fabric can be used as truck cover cloth, tent, outdoor rain cover cloth, container cover cloth, farm animal husbandry curtain and truck side curtain.

PVC tarpaulin is a kind of flexible PVC, and has strong tear strength and breaking strength. It can also be used to make water bags, ton bags, water towers, artificial fish ponds, portable swimming pools, farm dung cleaning conveyor belts, etc.

Because PVC tarpaulin has certain air tightness, it can be used to produce some ventilation pipes, air ducts, inflatable castles, inflatable toys, etc.

In industrial production, it can be used as conveyor belt, industrial apron, machine cover cloth and cover cloth of open warehouse.

PVDF coated PVC tarpaulin has a long outdoor service life. It is usually used to make parking space ceiling, outdoor exhibition hall, stadium ceiling, design ceiling, etc.

Environmental standards can be customized to apply to medical mattresses and software parts of medical devices in contact with human body.

VII: What are the applications of PVC artificial leather?

It can be used for various bags, seat covers, linings, sundries, etc. However, it has poor oil resistance, high temperature resistance, low softness and poor hand feel.

VIII: The difference between pvc coated fabric and pvc artificial leather?

PVC artificial leather are also one kind of pvc coated fabric, they have different manufacturing technology so they have different advantages and applications as above listed.
